| History |
|
Jamestown College was founded in 1883 - and closed fairly quickly, during the depression of 1893. The school reopened in 1909 and has remained open ever since - although there have been close calls.
Jamestown College has been notable for three things; its athletics, its science and nursing programs, and its choir. In 1979, Jamestown's football team went to the NAIA Division 3 National Championships (and lost). Its pre-medical students have long-standing tradition of getting into medical schools at a considerably above the national average. And in 1972 the college's choir - for decades one of the top small-college choirs in the United States - became the first American choir to sing at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France - an honor they repeated four more times during the 1970s and 1980s.
In the mid-1980s, a difficult farm economy and mismanagement led the college into difficult times; in 1986, the school graduated 92 students, had a full-time enrollment of only 500 students, and reportedly came within 24 hours of closing its doors. A few 11th-hour donations and some radical restructuring brought the college back from the brink - and today, the school has nearly triple the students, and has been able to embark on a large building program to replace some of the buildings (which in many cases dated from the college's original heyday in the 1920s.
